[Intro] [Heavy 808 bass, eerie banjo plucks, distant alligator growls] [Swamp ambient: cicadas, water splashing] [Whispered, close to mic, AAVE accent, southern drawl] Yeah... You hear that, boy? That's the bayou talkin'... [Beat drops] [Verse 1] [Deep male voice, slow drawl flow, AAVE storytelling, paranoid] My homie D-Boy said he seen it in the swamp last night, Somethin' movin' in the water, somethin' ain't right. [Ad-lib: «ain't right...» — whispered, distorted] He said it had eyes like fire, scales like rust, Crawlin' through the mud like it was made of dust. [Ad-lib: «made of dust...» — whispered] I told him, "Boy, don't go down there when the moon gets full," But he didn't listen, now he's just a ghost, just a skull. [Whisper on «night», «right», «rust», «dust», «full», «skull» — distorted] [808 bass heavy, trap hi-hats, eerie banjo] [Chorus] [Female backing vocals enter, haunting, Cajun French chanting] [Male lead vocal, intense, aggressive, AAVE] Bébé 'gator, il prend ton âme! (Bébé 'gator, he takes your soul!) Si tu vas dans le bayou, tu perds ton nom! (If you go in the bayou, you lose your name!) [Latin whisper] «Bestia paludis... animam devorat» Bébé 'gator, il prend ton âme! [Haunting female vocals, Cajun French, male aggressive delivery] [Verse 2] [Voice returns to whispered, more unstable, AAVE storytelling] They found his shoes by the cypress tree, but no body, no trace, Just his phone still buzzin' with a text: "I seen his face." [Ad-lib: «his face...» — whispered, distorted] Now when I walk past the water, I hear him call my name, Sayin', "Bro, it's cold down here, come join the game." [Ad-lib: «the game...» — whispered] Mama told me 'bout the 'gator, said he been there for years, Takin' boys who don't respect the bayou, feedin' on their fears. [Whisper on «trace», «face», «name», «game», «years», «fears» — distorted] [Eerie banjo, industrial percussion, AAVE storytelling] [Chorus] [Maximum intensity, haunting female vocals, aggressive male delivery] Bébé 'gator, il prend ton âme! Si tu vas dans le bayou, tu perds ton nom! [Latin whisper]: «Bestia paludis... animam devorat» Bébé 'gator, il prend ton âme! [Bridge] [Beat strips to just 808 bass and eerie ambient] [Spoken, slow, menacing, AAVE, close to mic] You think it's just a story, boy... But I seen the marks on the trees. You think it's just a legend, girl... But I heard it callin' me. [Pause, 2 beats] [Cajun French whisper] «Il t'attend dans l'eau noire...» [Whispered, barely audible, AAVE] He's waitin' for you, baby. [Beat drops back in, explosive] [Final Chorus] [Explosive, distorted, chaotic, haunting female vocals] BÉBÉ 'GATOR, IL PREND TON ÂME! SI TU VAS DANS LE BAYOU, TU PERDS TON NOM! [Latin whisper]: «Bestia paludis... animam devorat» BÉBÉ 'GATOR, IL PREND TON ÂME! [Outro] [Beat fades, only eerie banjo and 808 remain] [Whispered, intimate, terrifying, AAVE] So when you hear that splash, baby... [Pause] Don't look down... [Long pause, ambient fades] [Whispered, close to mic, final words, AAVE] 'Cause he already got you. [3 seconds of silence] [Sudden alligator growl — loud and close] [End]
